To all whom '51; may; concern:

Be it known that l, lGowAno Ll, soHEIDER, of New York. in the couhty of New York and State of New York, have invented CBi'oillll new and useful improvements in Toilet-(laws; and l do hereby leclui'e the following to be full, clear, and act description. of the some, reference heing had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specificutiomond to the rei Hence-numerals marked thereon. Y

My invention has for its object to improve the construction of toilet cases or Whetsre known as vanity cases of the class embodying a receptacle for face powder and the like in conjunction with e mirror carried thereby. More specifically, invention has for i' cs'purpose to provide a very simple arrangement the; can be manufactured at, low cosh, placing the device Within reach es s nsefnh'inexpensive' novelhn sarily small since the purpose requires that material, and comprising a cessihle in counectiorfwiih the exterior size he reduced as much as possible. To these and other ends the inveniion Still a fur' therolzqect of the invention resides in prospeciiica'ticu of Letters Tetcili,

receptacle, which is neces= consists in certain improvements and combo notions of ports, all as will hereinai'ier more fully described, novel features being pointed out in the claim at the end of the specification.

In the drawings:

Figure '1 is a perspect-iye view showing 51, ho embodying my improvement, the closure being open, and r Fig. 2 is a sectional view with the closure shutthe several figures indicate the ports,

The present emhodimenl; shows she opplicotion of the invention to a toilet case or container, more commonly known as a vanity case, made of cardboard or similar bottom 1, side walls 2, and rear 63d 'i'ront Wells 3 and respectively,

In order to provide a l'lilII'Of readily sccherooier, i: is usual to secure a. reflecting 'elemen, so the inner sorfsce of closure hula this has the objection time it is likely to e detechecl, to a con 11 exic 2m- Similor reference numerals thronghoul,"

a case of this.

icerior when The cover is closed, thus reducing the voluzu" of the tool-ulnar. I prefer to accomplish this by construe-fingthe closure itself of ll 1g material, prefoohly gins as aired in the present struceure m he silvcred otherwise prcparal x e mirror on ii inner face as do s The close, may be secured in e desirehle moons l the body portion of case to retz' contents of theletter and p or as a hinged crmnection between tioo sod closure in ihe iollowi ulzmuer.

T designates a covering consisting of clo or other suitable material which is attuci the body portion of rho case 1nd exlieoos around the closure, covering: both surfaces thereof end'cul; away on the under side he form an opening 8 within which is arranged -o hodv poo Thus the covering Z serves to connect the closure to the body portion, afi'ording'o' hinged relation between it and the closure and also constitutes an ornamental and proteclyive outer surface. The closure also in cludes a. lisp or attaching portion Owhich is connected to the section 5 by means ofthe covering 7 and is provided wilch a spring socket 10 cooperating with a fostcning device 11 secured lo the front wall of the body portion, 1 My invention is designed more particularly with reference to its use as \oniey case adapted to contain face powder or the like, together Wli'll :1 powder pull or suml'er device for npplviuyr it. and ii is desirable to provide construction that will conveniently receive the powder. holding u sullicient supply. and also maimuiulng the pufi'ugalnst uujn'ouuuil in the. receptacle. To this end, I

yin-(Wide zc mpmhucm" in the center of the.

use which is preferably circular and composed in the following: manner. 12 is an outer, preferably square strip shutting an intermediate correspondingly shaped strip 13, and 14 is an annular inner strip contactlog with the intermediate strip 13. The several stripsjusb referred to are provided with an overlying top portion 15, the outer edge of which conforms so the outer edge of the strip 12 while it is cut away centrally lo form the circular opening 16, ri or-(ling a circular compartment. The perilous jusli refer ed to are bound together by means of a covering 17 which is extended Gown wirdly over the sides and suitably attached snugly within the container, as shown in Fig. l.

I c1a1m as my invention:

A container comprising a body, a closure upon the body consisting of a flexible coversurface of which mg hinged to the body and surrounding a section of maternal, a portion of the lnner forms a IIIIITOI vislble through an aperture in said covering and a flap for-securing the closure at one side of the body consisting of a relnforclng member supported by extended portions of said 15 flexible covering folded upon each other at one edge of the closure to form a hinged connection between said closure and flap.
